The criticism of Cutler boils down to this: he has made his fair share of mistakes, but at the same time, he obviously has a strong desire to win and has had to deal with almost nothing but gross incompetence from his offensive teammates and his coaching staff for the past three years.

Is it wrong for Cutler to yell at his offensive line when they mess up? I don't know, but if I got needlessly hit as much as he has over the past few years, I'd be enraged as well._________________

I played OL and I have not issue with Jay yelling at his OL or bumping Webb.

When I missed a block I felt terrible or I was embarrassed and I worked harder the next time to protect the QB.

I do not see any of that from Webb he just gives and idiot smile and tweets something._________________John Fox

I didn't get to watch the game but I looked for a video of this incident and when I saw the thing that pissed me off about it was that after Cutler yelled and pushed Webb, Webb just smiled like he didn't care.

What the media and the fans are doing to Cutler is exactly what they did to Rex Grossman. Oh, and to Jim Harbaugh. And to Mike Tomczak. Jim McMahon didn't listen. He was injured, won a SB, injured again and was gone. It is the DNA of Chicago._________________"I have to keep playing so people over 40 will have somebody to root for on Sunday afternoons."

The only difference was that pretty much every one of those other QB's were terrible, or at best, a game-manager.

Why Cutler is getting blasted for yelling at Webb still puzzles me. A lot of QBs yell at their linemen, but Jay gets criticized for it because he's not a likeable guy and he played terribly. Webb was completely useless against the Packers and has never shown any consistency in his play. The Bears wouldn't exactly be losing much by giving CW a shot at LT. Spencer needs to be dumped from the starting five as well

Certain moments are indelible. Whether deserved or not. Cutler on an exercycle on the sidelines during that very peculiar NFC championship game in Chicago vs. the Packers while Caleb Hanie valiantly tried to win it, is the nations image of Jay.

Harbaugh was an excellent QB who arrived at a really awkward time. McMahon was finishing his career in Chicago. Tomczak wanted playing time. Ditka appeared not to like any of them. The image that stuck with Harbaugh was an INT for a TD he threw to the Vikings and Ditka grabbing his face mask, roaring his disapproval.

And just think, we almost got Terry Bradshaw in 1970 and Joe Montana in '79. _________________"I have to keep playing so people over 40 will have somebody to root for on Sunday afternoons." George Blanda who played until he was 46

“Hey, hey, quit calling the [bleeping] plays! When I call pass block, block! We’ll run the ball, but when I [bleeping] call pass block, block!”

That gem was from the lovable Peyton Manning to center Jeff Saturday in 2005 during a game.

“You got to start to fight! Or are you just going to lay down? Fight!” That was Tom Brady to his offensive line two seasons ago.

So now “get your [bleeping] head into the game” is the breaking point for a fan base?

There’s still some romantic idea that an NFL quarterback is supposed to be a square-jawed hero, loved by his teammates as he gently pats them on the rear after a bad play, telling them, “It’s OK, big guy, I don’t mind Clay Matthews driving my tailbone into the grass every play.”

Cutler isn’t always a likeable guy. Not by the media, and definitely not by groups of players in his own locker room.

When you look at it, this guy has got a strong arm, there is no question about it but he has had some protection issues. I know there has been some questionable (play) calling but listen, they brought players in to help this guy win a championship and he’s got to prove to be more accountable, not sensationalize every little mistake with his antics and body language. Listen, he’s a good quarterback but if he does not change his ways and this team does not go to the playoffs, you have to seriously consider another direction. He has to change.

So when he shows no emotion, he doesn't care. When he gets angry, he's a jerk. I'd hate to see what the reaction would be if the Bears were struggling and he started laughing and smiling..._________________

And it was reflected when Cutler became a Bear. "We have a QB, all of our problems are solved!" It not only reflects the team's history at the position, but also how naive of a football town Chicago is as well._________________
